The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of sole control of Artrom Steel Tubes S.A. (‘Artrom’) of Romania by Tenaris S.A. of Luxembourg.
The transaction relates primarily to the manufacture of steel tubes.
The Commission concluded that the notified transaction would not raise competition concerns, given that credible competitors would continue to supply customers in the markets where the parties are active. The notified transaction was examined under the normal merger review procedure.
